1:35 Destroyed Stonebridge

The real subject

A crossing over a watercourse is a critical place in every campaign, and so bridges were the first thing to be brought down. The subject of a ruined stone vault gives a scene action and a difference of height that is good to work with: equipment can be stood in front of the obstacle and figures on the wreckage and under it. The accessory is worked in 1:35 scale and in size it suits the figures and equipment of this scale.

What the set contains

This is a separate building element for a diorama of your own, not a complete scene with a base. You therefore finish the channel, the banks and the surrounding terrain yourself, which gives freedom in how much room on the base you set aside for the bridge.

• 1:35 scale, matched to the figures and equipment of the same scale
• the subject of a ruined stone bridge
• a height element that will give a scene a second level
• a separate accessory to be set into a base of your own
• the versions of this subject are told apart by the contents of the package

Building and painting tips

First stand the bridge dry in the place intended and judge how deep you will let it settle into the terrain; only then fix it and fill the surroundings in. Clean the surface of dust and grease before painting. The stone areas will stand out with an overall base coat, a dry brush across the edges and a dark glaze in the joints; add the rubble and the dust with pigments. The material and a suitable glue differ among accessories for dioramas, so go by the manufacturer's instructions on the box.

Who it is for

For a modeler who wants to have the central subject of a scene ready and to concentrate on the terrain, the figures and the storytelling. The contents of the package are not stated here; unless stated otherwise, count on acquiring the paints, the glue, the figures and the equipment separately.
